The adidas Predator Elite Tongue SG boots are engineered to maximize a young player's performance on soft ground. The combination of the HybridTouch upper and Strikeskin rubber fins allows for an almost instinctive connection with the ball, translating to more precise passes, powerful shots, and greater swerve on set pieces. Players will experience a noticeable improvement in their ability to 'strike at will.'
The larger foldover tongue not only provides a cleaner striking zone but also enhances the overall integrated feel, ensuring the boot moves as one with the foot. This, coupled with the Primeknit collar, delivers a secure lockdown, crucial for quick changes of direction and explosive acceleration.
On the pitch, the ControlFrame 2.0 soleplate shines, offering exceptional multidirectional traction. This means better grip during sprints, sharp turns, and sudden stops, giving players the confidence to maintain balance and execute agile maneuvers. For example, during a fast break, the soleplate ensures stability for a powerful shot, while the enhanced touch elements allow for quick dribbling and accurate through balls. The design helps players maintain control and responsiveness, even in challenging soft ground conditions, enabling them to dictate play and capitalize on scoring opportunities.
Lace Closure: Ensure the boots are laced snugly from toe to ankle. The lace closure system allows for a personalized, secure fit.
Foldover Tongue: Adjust the foldover tongue to lie flat and comfortably over the laces. The integrated strap helps keep it in place, providing a clean striking surface.
Breaking In: Like all football boots, a short breaking-in period during light training sessions is recommended to ensure optimal comfort and fit before competitive play.
Playing Surface: These boots are specifically designed for Soft Ground (SG) pitches. The stud configuration provides maximum traction on natural grass fields that are wet or muddy.
Age Group: Intended for kids/junior players.
Fit: Features a regular fit. Consult size guides to ensure correct sizing, especially considering the distinct stud configurations for smaller sizes.
Cleaning: After each use, remove excess mud and debris. Wipe the boots with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes that could damage the material.
Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, dryers) as this can cause materials to crack or shrink.
Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using boot trees or stuffing with newspaper to help maintain their shape.
Soleplate Lacquer: Please note that the lacquer finish on the bottom of the soleplate may wear off during play. This is a normal cosmetic change and will not affect the performance or durability of the product.
Stud Maintenance: Regularly check the tightness of metal studs to ensure they are secure.
